Great stuff, DR Elmore.

Do you have the Thriller episode of "Pigeons from Hell"?

Oh, yes. It scared me to death in 1960, or whenever it was first broadcast, and it still does. There was a series on NBC around the same time as THRILLER called "Great Ghost Stories," which I wish would turned up on DVD. Its adaptation of Blackwood's "The Wendigo" terrfied me, and the memory of that broadcast still creeps me out.

I finished scoring the verse to "Let's Fly Away," and I'm on to the second refrain/ As I worked I listened to the June 11, 1960 BBC broadcast of the premiere of Britten's opera A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was quite wonderful, and now I'm listening to Juan Diego Florez and Pavarotti sing Italian popular songs.

Yes, I ignored a lot of the messages on IMDB....but there were some that were interesting and informative. Now we have none.....at least as of 2/20.

I rarely read the comments, however, when I have on the whole they have been useful.

Charles Laughton:
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Mutiny on the Bounty
He was great in everything he did.

Tyrone Power:
The Mark of Zorro
Alexander's Ragtime Band
I am now in the mood to watch some of his films.

Marlene Dietrich:
I am not a fan.

Oh dear.

That's too bad! I usually found some interesting information in those boards among the occasional bad stuff.

So did I. Frequently, the messages had specific information that I was looking for. Darn. $:-\$

Well, today is going to be a day. I have to shower and shave and get dressed, then I need to mail a rent check for Theater Artists Olympia, then possibly (finally) get my hairs cut. I was planning on getting a hair cut back in October, but I was cast in "The Physician In Spite of Himself" and was specifically told not to get my hair cut.

George · « **Reply #38 on:** February 04, 2017, 01:33:35 PM »

Then, I was going to get it cut when the show ended in December, but they decided to add one performance in January, so I wouldn't be able to get it cut until after that. Then, when that performance happened, I got the cold that lingered and when I went to my barber, there was a sign that said if you're even barely sick, don't even think about coming in.

A couple of years ago, he had cancer and went through treatment and needed to be kept away from sick people. I assume that he's going through another treatment, so I didn't want to chance that. Now, I feel recovered enough to go and let him cut my hair...assuming that his shop is open, but it usually is on Saturdays. We'll see.

Anyway, the big event tonight is that I'm ushering for a performance by Rufus Wainwright as a fund raiser for Pizza Klatch:

Quote

Pizza Klatch provides weekly lunchtime support groups in our local schools for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer youth (LGBTQ) and allies to prevent teen suicide, reduce bullying and keep youth in school. We started with 2 schools and 20 students and now serve approximately 300 youth weekly at 12 Thurston County high schools. Given the increase in bullying nationwide, Pizza Klatch is needed now more than ever.

I've taken my shower, and now I must get dressed so that I can leave my house and do the things that I need to do.

Have a good day, all!

I'm going to the movies tonight. Toss up between Hidden Figures, which is showing earlier, and Moonlight, which doesn't start until after 9 p.m.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #43 on:** February 04, 2017, 02:45:35 PM »

Back from RINGS.

Eh.

But we had a good time. And now I'll never have to sit through it again.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** February 04, 2017, 02:47:33 PM »

Freezing out there.

Time to get myself outside of a cold Manhattan.

George · « **Reply #45 on:** February 04, 2017, 03:01:08 PM »

Well, darn. When I drove by the barber's, I could see that it was closed. I'll have to wait to get my hairs cut...again.

George · « **Reply #46 on:** February 04, 2017, 03:03:03 PM »

So, I'm getting me something to eat and continuing reading my book, "Princeps' Fury," book 5 in Jim Butcher's CODEX ALERA series.

No question about it. I used it quite a bit, and I'll miss it for the good stuff.

I was scrolling with great anticipation to see if you got your hair cut.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #49 on:** February 04, 2017, 03:53:54 PM »

Yes I was anticipating a photo of DR GEORGE's hirsute transformation.....

DR GEORGE have you ever tried SportClips? I think they are a national chain. A couple of my brothers go there. They like it better than Great Clips....you can check in on line, etc.

George · « **Reply #50 on:** February 04, 2017, 04:52:53 PM »

I started going to this guy (he's the only barber in his shop) because he was local and was located close to where I live and work. I'll go again sometime this week during my lunch time.

Re the imdb - thank all the brain dead teens.

I had an omelet and an English muffin.

Had a lovely conversation with Muse Margaret - there were really only four little things to ask her about and we decided on those.

Then I had a surprise visit from Sandy Bainum and we had a lovely chat.

bk · « **Reply #55 on:** February 04, 2017, 05:07:22 PM »

Then I listened to some music and I uploaded a LOT of videos, so there WILL be videos in the notes, but not if we don't get off this damn page.

George · « **Reply #56 on:** February 04, 2017, 05:26:14 PM »

Well, it's time for me to leave for the theater. I don't know when I'll be back, but it should be tonight.

Until later!

bk · « **Reply #57 on:** February 04, 2017, 05:28:11 PM »

Dear George - take a day off already

bk · « **Reply #58 on:** February 04, 2017, 05:28:18 PM »

I'm one to talk.

Jane · « **Reply #59 on:** February 04, 2017, 05:30:27 PM »

I was about to say that.
